YOU care for me, and II love you 50
dearly that every hourI spend away
from you is pain. Ailsa. my own dear
little girl, let me take you home as I
said / would, but give me the right to
stay there with you and meet your
guardian, strong in the knowledge that
you are my wife. Tell me, Ailsa shall
we have it so?"
Ailsa's eyes grew dim with tears, but
she answered with a p~layfulness which
to Allan Gordon seemed to convey
every thing Of tenderness that the
world contained.
'.You have carried me away from
home without asking my yea or nay,
Allan. You are wondrously polite to
begin inquiring my wishes now"
The first sight which greeted Dun
can Macfarlane's eyes when he arrived
home the next afternoon was the
strange sloop he had followed all night
long, riding peacefully at anchor be-
fore his cottage, with her boat drawn
up on his own beach. Scarcely able
to speak in his amazement, he rushed
into the house, to be met by a TALL
broad-shouldered gentleman whom
his blushing niece introduced as her
husband, Allan Gordon. Duncan
Macfarlane dropped in a chair,
turning purple in the face, and for a
few moments it looked like apoplexy,;
and Allan feared it was all over with
him. But the sturdy old Scot rallied,
fortunately too weak to speak imme-
diately, and Allan made good use of
the time in telling his eloquent tale
and in giving full and complete state
ments as to his w social and finanI
cial standing. It may probably have
been the last considerations which
turned the scale, but what old Dun
can Macfarlane said, as he feebly ex-
tended his hand to the young man,
was:
"After all, ye're a brave lad. and
come of a guild old race. Take the
lass; ye won her bravely, but l war
rant ye think her weel worth a. the
trouble"
And Allan did.-San Francisco En-
G7ni1er.

Curious Rules Established by the Nationa
Association of That Country.

Curious Rules Established by the National
Association of That Country.
Mr.. Gust Benedicks, ono of the di-
rectors of the General Swedish Trotting
Association, gives a graphic account of
the ''horse world in Sweden. The
central Office of the association is at
Stockholm. The president is Count
Alfred Pipen, and the royal family take
great interest in the races, which usu-
ally are held in the winter on the ice.
The circular track of one English mile
is incloscd and an admission fee is
charged.
The crowds are always large and en-
thusiastic, although there is no public
betting as there is in this country. In
fact, there is not a single active book
maker IN all Sweden. Professional
trainers and drivers are scarce, and the
speed of horses is not developed with
skill. 1t is the custom for each owner
to drive himself. The maximum rat
of speed is ESQ to the mile, and a horse
capable of doing this. if sound and
without fault, is valued at from 81. 900
to $1,000.
The judges occupy a stand in the
center of the infield, and the horses,
only two of which start at n time,
travel in opposite directions. One goes
to the right and the other to the left,
and the competitor which gets back to
the starting line first is declared the
winner. The spectators in this style
of competition are first interested in
the widening of the gap, and after the
half-mile post has been reached they
grow excited over the steadily closing
of the same.
This method is a great improvement
in many respects over the American
method, as it keeps the spectators in
longer suspense, does away with all
chance of collisions and prevents the
horses from getting excited and break
ing. Then, too, n driver a not
form anywhere near a correct idea as
to the exact speed of his competitor,
and is therefore compelled to make his
horse do its best. 1t is more difficult,
however, to follow a race of this de-
scription than one in which the horses
travel side by side and in the same di-
rection. The prizes are mainly for Swed-
ish-bred horses, but in some classes
horses from Finland are allowed to
enter.
The heats are differently arranged
from what they are in the United
States. For instance, if there are six
horses entered for one race two of them
contest in one heat. Then the winner
makes a heat with ano her, the de-
feated horse always retiring from the
contest. If one horse wins three heats
and then is defeated by a horse that
also wins three, then the two race a
| final heat to decide the contest. There
are a number of small associations in
Sweden, but the club at Stockholm
gives a national character to the sport.
Breeding enterprises are springing up
in all parts of the country and the
quality of the race-horse is being rap
idly improved. Mr.. Benedicks is OF
the opinion that an importation Of
trotting blood from the United States
would help light harness development
in Sweden.-Philadelph:a Times.

tract for building new iron bridge over

Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, for 81, 145.
The bridge will be in two spans, so feet
each, and will be built en- abutments Of
solid masonry. The specifications were
at first made out for wooden structure,
but the commissioners Of both counties
deemed ii wiser to have the bridge con.
structed of iron, although the cost of the
latter will be somewhat greater.

Bursting Of the Water Main.

The large water main near the reser-
voir, which supplies the city with water,
bursted on Friday, and flooded the en-
tire place for considerable distance around.
Notice was given to consumers late on
Saturday evening to supply themselves
with water enough TO last for twenty four
hours as the break required the shutting
off of all the water until the damage
could be repaired. Mr.. John johnson
plumber of this city, was given the job,
and he proceeded to the break with q
force of workmen about o'clock on Sat
urday night, and in less than five hours
after he had got to work, he had the
damage repaired About eight feet of
new pipe was put in place of the old that
had bursted The break is supposed to
have been caused from flaw in the pipe
and the great pressure of water on the
place, together with the frost in the
ground. Every available empty in the
house was filled with wafer, and provis-
ion made for long siege, but before the
household had an occasion to use it, the
water was running as before 1t is said
to have been one of the most expeditions
jobs ever done for the company.
